The view is the best feature of this place, the tables had not been cleared, from the lunch time clients, we should of walked out then.
Waited 20 Min’s for a coffee and cake, which then came out coffee first, cake microwaved hot 5 Min’s later. Pie and ice cream arrived at the same time, how ever can you eat a meat pie and hold an ice cream cone.The ice cream was paid for 2 scoops to have on the way out, one scoop came with the meat pie.
The place has potential with the right staff, but it sure needs a shake up.

Sadly although the building looks nice that is the best that we can say for this place.
We should have taken more notice of the plant life in the restaurant to gauge how slow the service would be. The plants must have also been waiting a very long time for attention to as they appeared to be in desparate need of water.
The service was so pathetic that we were very tempted just to walk out. We were seated straight away – the quickest event of the whole evening. The waitress finally arrived to take a drinks order 30 mins later…another 45 mins passed before the dinner orders were taken. Finally after nearly two hours from the time we arrived meals were slowly delivered – some missing the mains and some the vegetables.
This would be the worst restaurant we have ever been in and will definitely not be returning to. Not only was the service slow, but the staff argumentative. Poor standards all round. Sadly I do not see this restaurant remaining in business much longer.

Good prices and good food, been there for coffee and lunch many times and very happy. Only issue is at times service can be a little slow if they are low on staff.
2011, New owners. Food not so good any longer, feels like it is not fresh, service has plummeted and you can no longer eat outside in the sun.
